22 down…

Just a quick handful of some minor/major events of the last week or so:

Two more articles published in the Allston-Brighton TAB: “Obama Supporters celebrate Inauguration Day at the Kells in Allston,” and “Boston College plans head to Boston Redevelopment Authority despite neighbor’s protests.” It’s exciting stuff, trust me. I’ll also give a quick shoutout to my roommate Kevin, who had an article in the TAB this week as well.

There’s also a great piece on Bernie Madoff in the Times, which contains this wonderfully high brow insult: “An easy answer is that Mr. Madoff was a charlatan of epic proportions, a greedy manipulator so hungry to accumulate wealth that he did not care whom he hurt to get what he wanted.”

I also finally got around to seeing The Wrestler this weekend, so I can verify that Peter Travers review really was awful. It’s an amazing film, and I’m all but certain that Rourke’s going to get the Oscar for it. It’s not really a plot-driven movie, and it relies so heavily on him that he’ll probably get it almost by default (kind of like Daniel Day-Lewis in There Will Be Blood).

And today is also my 22nd birthday. Go me.
